Town started to fall in 1901 when the Feds opened up the Wichita Mtns to mineral mining.The Mine was built but never used. as a matter of fact in order to sell the mine and plant the owners used a 12 guage shotgun and some gold dust to pepper the mine. ;-) More info http://rebelcherokee.labdiva.com/kcgold.html with Pictures!!
